"Your Su family is really rich and powerful. I heard that such a precious Buddha statue only costs three hundred taels of silver. But I don't know that this thousand-year-old jade is worth this price now, and I don't know if your Su family will feel guilty." , this ancient Buddha stained red by blood dares to put it in front of this divine Buddha, and dares to pray for the Queen Mother."
In the imperial study room, Emperor Zongwen had an angry look on his face, with veins popping out on his head. He picked up the tea cup on the table, smashed it at Concubine Su's feet, and snorted coldly.
Several pieces of the broken jade-red porcelain Tang brocade tea cup were stuck at Concubine Su's feet. There were faint blood stains on the corners of her skirt, which had pierced the skin. Regardless of the sharp stinging pain on her legs, Concubine Su cried out with a pale face: "Your Majesty, please spare the Su family. It's because I want to make meritorious service in front of you and is eager for success. That's why the Su family is so anxious to help me find the psychic Buddha statue."
"A psychic Buddha statue? If it is really psychic, your Su family should pay for it with blood!" Emperor Zongwen shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please punish me for my crime and spare my brother. Please, my father said that for such a son, your Majesty will forgive him." Concubine Su ignored the stinging pain on her knees and walked on her knees. After two steps, he pulled Emperor Zongwen's sleeve and cried.
She never imagined that just to compete with the queen, she would make the matter so big. Her brother would kill someone for a Buddha statue like her. This matter would even be revealed in front of the emperor. Thinking that her father was such a son, Su would be in trouble in the future. The family depends on him to be at the helm. Concubine Su's beautiful face was twisted in pain and fear.
Feng Jue The sharp nails pierced into the palm of his hand, and Liu Xi looked to the side anxiously.
She had been in the palace for many years, and Liu Xi still respected her when he saw her, and never forgot to be filial to him.
Liu Xi naturally also saw the prayer in Su Guifei's eyes. He usually took advantage of Su Guifei's good looks. Feng Juexuan was also elegant and never showed mercy in giving rewards. He was very popular. Naturally, he couldn't turn a blind eye at this time and stepped forward. He poured a new cup of tea for Emperor Zongwen and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down first and have a cup of tea. This happened suddenly. The imperial concubine was so filial, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a bad thing."
"Filial piety, filial piety is dyed red with other people's blood. How could the Queen Mother recover from her illness because of this filial piety, or even lose her life." Emperor Zongwen said coldly, with a gloomy face. Looking at the tea brought by Liu Xi, he didn't drink.
The emperor is determined to punish the uncle of the Su family! Liu Xi did not dare to say anything more. He took two steps back and lowered his head. After so many years in the palace, he could still tell who his master was. Without Emperor Zongwen's trust, he would be nothing in this palace. , and why Concubine Su was so polite when she saw him.
What he can say, he also says. There are some words that he cannot interrupt, so he will naturally not cause trouble for himself.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please check again, please check again, you can't say, it's not my brother's fault. I asked my brother to sell it with money, and I never forced it..." Seeing Emperor Zongwen's anger still lingering, Concubine Su's expression changed. Huan Bai said anxiously, the Su family has such a legitimate son, and she has such a legitimate brother, how can she bear to let him die.
She cried and kowtowed repeatedly, her jade-white forehead hitting the bluestone floor tiles hard, making a thumping sound.

"Buy? This is a family heirloom left over from the tenth generation. It has been blessed by eminent monks for several generations and has always been worshiped in other people's ancestral halls. It is their lifeblood. What are you buying from the Su family? Didn't that family once threaten to ask for hundreds of dollars? I only sincerely offered you ten thousand taels of silver. Your Su family is really rich, and yet you dare to come here like this! This shows that this money is a lot." Emperor Zongwen suddenly smiled coldly, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Concubine Su's face was truly as pale as blood, and her whole body was trembling like chaff. A cold air rose from the bottom of her heart and instantly rushed to her limbs. Her body seemed to be immersed in ice. There was no strength in her body, and she lay limply on the bluestone. On the ground, she suddenly realized something from such a turn of events, and her lips trembled before she wanted to speak.
Emperor Zong Wenji looked at her and said coldly: "The silver from the two lakes for disaster relief, which is said to be millions, just disappeared without a trace. No one from the two lakes officials can tell where this good silver went. I remember that your Su family was here Lianghu is everyone!”
Every word was like a knife, every sentence was heart-piercing. How could Concubine Su hold on? Her complexion turned livid, her eyes turned black, and her body was involuntarily carried backwards. The two maids kneeling behind her hurriedly stretched out their hands to support them, frightened. He looked at Emperor Zongwen, but did not dare to shout.
Emperor Zongwen didn't look at Concubine Su who was lying limply on the ground. He turned to Liu Xileng and said: "Come here, pass the order and let the three law divisions review it together and punish them severely. How dare you use the power of the royal family to do such irregular things?" , this is contempt for the dignity of the royal family, where is the majesty of the royal family!"
"Yes, I will go and announce the decree right now." Liu Xi lowered his head and said respectfully.
Concubine Su, who was helped out of the royal study and returned to her palace, was still weak all over. Her face was ashen and she was holding a table on one side and sitting in front of the couch. She smashed a beauty arc vase at her hand to pieces.
The flowers inserted inside suddenly withered, and the broken branches and leaves mixed with the broken porcelain, leaving a dark water mark on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down." The maids knelt down in fear and begged for mercy involuntarily.
"Get out, get out!" Concubine Su's face was ferocious, her beautiful face had long lost any trace of gentleness, and she yelled sharply.
Several little palace maids scrambled to their feet, not daring to look at her, and ran out of the hall as if they were running away.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Maybe there is something I can think of." The personal palace maid Qiong'er made tea and placed it in front of Concubine Su. She stretched out her hand to gently caress her back and said comfortingly, "More No matter how angry you are, you can't hurt yourself, and your Highness is not the only one!"
She is the personal maid brought in by Concubine Su from the Su family. There are things that others dare not say, but she still dares to say them.
"Bitch, bitch..." Concubine Su was furious, her eyes were as wide as copper bells, she grabbed the corner of the case and said in a bitter voice.
"Empress, even if you get angry again, the other side will only be happy, so Qiong'er would like to ask your Majesty to take care of yourself. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about His Highness the King of Chu, right?" Qiong'er took the scarf on one side and gently touched it. He wiped Concubine Su's face and tried to persuade her.
The anger on Concubine Su's face slowly faded away, replaced by a wave of hatred.
If the queen hadn't brought that Buddha statue and said that, he wouldn't have deliberately asked his father to send people to find a more precious Buddha statue in order to avoid getting along with her. His younger brother was already a careless person, so how could his father take this? Leave the matter to him. Now is an important juncture for Xuan'er. No matter how ignorant his brother is, he will never cause a murder at this time.
And in the end, this matter was actually connected to the two-source disaster disaster case that had been causing a lot of trouble before!
If Concubine Su hadn't woken up from so many coincidences, her more than twenty years in this palace would have been in vain!
She was fooled, she was fooled by the Queen!
Although he didn't know who provoked his brother to do such a thing, he must have nothing to do with the queen.
A few days ago, King Yan was scolded by the emperor, and he was shamefully appointed as a side concubine before the main concubine came in. The queen was scolded again. Concubine Su only felt that Feng Juexuan's opportunity had come, and she acted a little arrogantly. The queen tolerated everything and never fought with herself for anything. She thought that the queen would finally accept her fate, but she didn't expect that she would be waiting for her here.
"Qiong'er, you will send someone out of the palace to send a message to my father and ask my brother to admit this crime." Su Guifei gritted her teeth.
"Empress." Qiong'er was startled and put down the scarf in her hand. She was in a daze. She didn't know what to do for a moment. She was a slave of the Su family. She naturally knew how much the Su family valued the eldest son. The entire Su family wanted to accompany her. It took a lot of effort to raise this uncle, and he is now serving in major departments, laying the foundation for future support for the King of Chu.
How could the empress say such a thing at this time!
Killing to pay for life, if you really accept it, there is only one way to pay for it!
"Mother, are you planning to..." She asked half a question, but felt it was inappropriate and hurriedly swallowed down her uneasiness.
"That woman actually wants to use my brother to harm Xuan'er and drag Xuan'er into the Lianghu case. Even if I give up my brother, I still have to protect Xuan'er. My father also has several bastards. I believe that my father can see through it. Just let people pass on the message like this." Concubine Su's tone was sad, but her words were firm.
Abandoning his younger brother to save Xuan'er, his father must be able to guess what he meant. A strong man's wrist is cut off because he was plotted by the queen. Fortunately, Xuan'er still has a chance. As long as the younger brother pleads guilty and admits to killing people for the Buddha statue, and the emperor punishes the younger brother, it will be fine. It can be checked. The so-called "two lakes disaster relief silver taels" can be dragged along with Xuan'er.
Feng Juelei is now being reprimanded and put in solitary confinement. If Xuan'er is also reprimanded, he will be put in solitary confinement at most. There is no real evidence, and his younger brother has confessed again. The emperor has no reason to withdraw the investigation of the Su family.
Some things won’t involve too much!
Now that the matter has come to this, Concubine Su only hopes to keep Feng Juexuan out of the matter.
"Yes, I'll let someone talk about it now." Qiong'er agreed respectfully.
Having served the master for many years, I have become accustomed to Concubine Su's all-round skills and knows how well the emperor's favorite concubine can please the emperor. Even though she is no longer young, the emperor still favors her and comes to the palace from time to time. On the one hand, it's because she always looks charming and charming, and on the other hand, it's naturally because of His Highness the King of Chu.
Concubine Su, who was able to penetrate Linglong's people's hearts, suffered such a big loss. How could she not give up
"You will go to the Buddhist temple later and ask Concubine Wen to preside over the matters in the Buddhist temple. Tell me that I suddenly suffered from a heart attack and fainted." Concubine Su gritted her teeth and called Qiong'er who was about to leave, her face turned gloomy. "Go to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace again and tell me that I was reprimanded by the Emperor and fainted in the Imperial Study Room. I can no longer carry out this prayer. Please forgive me for my unfilial piety."
There are two explanations for one thing, one is to make the rumor public, and the other is to provoke discord between the two empresses.
Everyone in the palace knew that the Queen Mother believed in Buddhism. To interrupt a grand event of praying for the Queen Mother, to temporarily change the host, and to cause such a big murder, as long as the Queen Mother was smart, she would have known that it was The queen's hand will definitely displease the queen in her heart.
She heard that the Queen and the Queen Mother had been having disputes for a while, and the Dingguo Palace was in a dilemma!
Concubine Su is now able to clearly understand her situation, survive in the discord between the two palaces, and keep a low profile!
"Yes, I'll tell you now, slave." Qiong'er said softly.
"If someone from the Su family enters the palace, they will be waiting for you. They can only enter after receiving an order." Concubine Su said calmly and resolutely.
"What about the master and his wife?" Qiong'er hesitated and asked.
"Everyone should be treated equally." Su Guifei gritted her teeth. She would not let the queen find another opportunity to undermine Xuan'er. What she had to do now was to show that she had changed her mind and arouse the emperor's pity... (To be continued)
